BTW, did anyone look at the first screenshot? I heard no mention of the padding in that one. There are 3 text menu items there, not 1. "Performance" | "CloudFlare" | "SEO"
As for this thread. Yes I think it's getting a little TLDR. I was just reporting a problem with the current design, that's it. To be honest I don't really know why I am reading about the reasons of how it's better than it was before.
There are many different routes to fix this, and whether or not this thread turns into a discussion about all those possibilities, or a debate as to whether it will be left alone. I think I'm done here.
Thanks.
